GENERAL Introduction
The present CLAAS REPAIR MANUAL is intended to
assist in preserving the permanent operational readi-
ness and therefore the high value of your CLAAS com-
bine harvester by thorough maintenance and service
supervision.
Experience gathered by both our service engineers
and factory staff has been compiled in this REPAIR
MANUAL.
The sequences of pictures illustrate the course of a
repair process while the text provides the necessary
information on adjustments, application of CLAAS spe-
cial tools and the like.
The illustrations included in support to the explana-
tions show the sequence of major repairs so that
minor repairs can easily be followed.
The CLAAS REPAIR MANUAL is filled in a folder
which allows to insert supplementary pages as issued
following technical developments and to always have
an updated manual at hand for reference.
To be sure, always compare settings and filling capac-
ities with specifications stated in the current Operator's
Manual of the combine-harvester.
CLAAS KGaA mbH
Service Department
Introduction into the CLAAS Repair Manual The CLAAS Repair Manual is subdivided into main
groups and subgroups.
The first digit of the number to be found at the bottom
of each page indicates the main group, the digit follow-
ing the first dot indicates the subgroup and the digit fol-
lowing the second dot the page number. Both pictures
and pages are numbered consecutively in each sub-
group, starting at 1.
Differences between the machine types are high-
lighted by captions or headings. Mechanical proce-
dures applying to all machine types covered in this
manual are kept neutral.
Supplements are realised by adding and/or replacing
the subgroups. Any supplements are filed in the
respective main group / subgroup and the table of con-
tents is updated.
The pictorials serve for quick orientation in recurring
mechanical procedures. Their meanings are explained
at the beginning of this manual.
The "GENERAL REPAIR INFORMATION" section at
the beginning of this manual contains informative
explanations. Read and follow this important informa-
tion. This is the basis of safe and continued function
following a repair.
The table of contents of the main group / subgroup
in question will allow you to locate any mechanical
work description quickly.
Explanation of pictorials The user will easily remember the meanings of these
pictorials. They are intended to assist in identifying fre-

Maintenance
1. Repair, service and cleaning work as well as
the elimination of malfunctions should only be
performed with the drives stopped and the
engine switched off. Remove the ignition
key (main switch key).
2. Escaping fluid (fuel, hydraulic oil, etc.) under
high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury. If any fluid is injected into the
skin, consult a doctor immediately as otherwise
serious infections may result!
3. Always turn off the battery isolating switch
before carrying out any electrical repairs on
the machine!
4. Be careful when opening the radiator cap.
As long as the engine is hot, the radiator is
under pressure!
5. Dispose of oil, fuel and filters in a way that is
harmless to the environment and in accordance
with existing anti-pollution regulations!
6. Do not attempt to mount a tyre unless you
have the proper equipment and experience
to perform the job safely.
7. Retighten the wheel nuts regularly!
8. Only have qualified workshops carry out repair
work on the hydraulic system.
Reason of damage Find the centre point in the slack span between
sprockets. With the tight span slightly under load, push

and safeguard the machine. The chain tension is correct when its slack span
deflects about 2% of the centre distance between
Spare parts shafts. Check chain tension more frequently when
using new chains.
Use genuine CLAAS spare parts and corresponding
CLAAS special tools. Example: Distance between shafts 500 mm = Deflec-
tion of slack span is roughly 10 mm.

the engine, front attachments, maize header, cutterbar
